UAH hosts a series of seminars in observance of National Disability Employment Awareness Month

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), and The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) will observe the occasion by hosting weekly brown bag meetings every Thursday.

The NDEAM 2016 theme is “#InclusionWorks.” The purpose of the national observance is to educate the public about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities.

Seminar attendance is free, but participants must register as soon as possible with Lisa Rivers: Lisa.Rivers@uah.edu.

NDEAM was first established in 1945 by Congress, but called National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. In 1988 it became known as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and was extended from the first week of October to the whole month.
